RE: A Journey Through Paradise - My Travels Through the Northern Island of New Zealand (Part Two)
Hi @anwenbaumeister,
I would really love to visit New Zealand in the future. What would be your advice for beginner on how to manage and save your money, since traveling can be expensive?
Also, thank you for sharing your experience with us!!
Thanks for a great question! I think I'll do a blog post specifically about that this week. Some tips off the top of my head...
For free accommodations and work exchanges - couchsurfing, WWOOFing, workaway.info, helpx, staying in a hostel for $
For food - making your own food, in NZ coffee was usually $5 per cup so I carried around a french press and my own coffee grounds, and made sandwiches for the road
For travel - taking buses, hitchhiking (super safe in NZ and pretty common)
NZ also offers 1 year work visas for US, Canadian, and UK citizens
I hope that helps!
